I'm in LOVE
Was at a Lange dinner last night in Amsterdam. It was fantastic! As Mr. Haude said: you will get caught by the virus. He was right. Now I am infected. Poor poor bank account... :-/
Most beautiful movement I have ever seen:
OMG now I want one
I was hoping to see the 1815 "200th Anniversary F.A. Lange" as that is a serious contender of being an addition to the collection this year. Sadly not there so a new appointment is in the making as soon as the watch (only one) arrives in The Netherlands. The downside after this dinner is that the Lange I really want to own now is the Double Split. What a watch!
Some other pics:

I know exactly how you feel....
.... Most of my watches made way for Lange after I first laid my eyes on one. The chronograph movements by Lange are nothing short of breathtaking!
Nice pics and a great event
Looks like you had a great time! The Lange bug is a very dangerous one lol! Cheers Robin
Aaah, Arie...
The Double Split... All a program. A very tempting Chrono. First because of the concept of the Double Rattrapante, which is very attractive. Then because of the movement which is a kind of super Datograph. Now, the two reserves: The case, which is not onl...
Understand where you are comming from
But 1. Compared to the Zeitwerk it felt like a really good proportioned watch 2. While on the wrist the dial felt perfectly in balance and not "in your face" like the Datograph (amazing watch as well but not as amazing as the double Split). That were my i...
All I can say my friend Nicolas...
Is that I agree as someone who owned the platinum DS. It was a gorgeous watch with amazing movement. The problem is the glass in back protruded from the case and it was the single most uncomfortable watch I have ever owned. It was a pleasure to look at bu...
The DS is a superlative watch...
but I regret that the PT version is not in the catalogue anymore. Thanks for the pics! Glad you saw my friend Andreas! Fx
The doublesplit flyback don't sing to me............
About the watch so will I say the movement is awesome and pure art. But I have some problems with the dial, I think it looks like a fake ALS. Don't misunderstand me I say not it's a fake, the design looks not like something that is produced by ALS IMHO. I...
The small power reserve, which looks too small compared with the rest of the dial?
AND... The missing Grande Date...
Stick to your guns, Arie
It's great watch. The best chronograph available. Yes, it's BIG and the Dato has the date this is missing, but the watch is very handsome and the movement is out of this world. I have heard, however, that the watchmakers who made the DS are now making the...
Love the Doublesplit...
The movement is unrivaled I think. Underappreciated for sure. Dave
